Failte! (Welcome!)

I want to offer you the opportunity of making a spiritual journey to this 50th International Eucharistic Congress in Dublin, Ireland. In consultation with Catholic Travel Centre, I have an itinerary that includes attendance at the beautiful opening ceremonies on Sunday, June 10, 2012 and the closing ceremonies on Sunday June 17. The closing ceremony, including Mass, will be at Ireland’s largest stadium — Croke Park.
The ten day trip will also include visits and Masses at some of Ireland’s best known places of spiritual pilgrimage — Knock, Clonmacnois Monastic ruins, the Rock of Cashel, Glendalough. It will also include some of Ireland’s scenic and historic sites. I will offer a tour of my home city of Limerick, and introduce you to the history, culture and foods of my native country.
Attendance at the opening and closing ceremonies of the International Eucharistic Congress will give you an experience of the international Church, and at the closing Mass the opportunity of worshipping with fellow Catholics from around the world.
I will be delighted if you are able to join me in this spiritual journey. My hope is that attendance at the congress will be inspiring for you, and the tour of Ireland will be the fulfillment of your wish to visit the “land of saints and scholars.” I hope and pray that this trip will provide you with life long memories and countless moments to savor. You can count on Catholic Travel to assist you with any questions that you have. As the local group leader, I hope you will decide to be part of this adventure.
